Halo 2 Message Board  

In the Limited Collector's Edition of the game, there is the special booklet called "Conversations From The Universe". In the booklet on page 7, there is an extremely difficult to read text from the Prophet of Truth to the Prophet of Mercy concerning the Prophet of Regret. The following is the translation (the number of words in each line is equal to the number of words in each line in the booklet, except for the words in parentheses):

To thine own eyes, Prophet of Mercy

Dearest Brother,

I hope this finds you well. My sorrow
and anger precedes me with regard to the
atrocity and heresy at Halo. We shall avenge
this destruction with some of our own.
Work proceeds apace on our battle plan. The
Sangheili (Elites) will do what is asked of them, and
the Jiralhanae (Brutes) will show the humans what our
strength looks like at close quarters.

But this message concerns neither the
planning nor the discovery of the Human
homeworld. Rather I question Brother Regret's
suitability for this great purpose.

I am aware of his tenacity and ambition,
but I believe his youth and ?ckless reaching
may prove to be grave risks to the per?ction
of this undertaking. You have noted his
rashness in the past, and yet neither of us
has acted.

I suggest that we continue as planned, but
we would both do well to pay mind to Brother
Regret, and provide wisdom and guidance
as needed. This matter is too important to
be left to inexperienced hands. Piety is no
substitute for wisdom.

Perhaps I worry too much. You know that
I embrace caution, but cannot have
inexperience or arrogance at this great
juncture.

Be pure, be vigilant, and never rest.

By my own hand

Prophet of Truth

Cool I suppose.

Sweet, I always wanted to know the real message.
